Use of Communications and Materials

Any material or communication you transmit to the website by (Secured) Hypertext Transfer Protocol, File Transfer Protocol, or electronic mail or otherwise, including any questions, suggestions, comments, data or the like is considered nonproprietary and non-confidential unless otherwise explicitly noted in writing or required by law or applicable codes of professional responsibility.

Alliance Defending Freedom is a legal organization and permits unsolicited information related to legal services to be submitted via its website, but submitting a request for legal assistance or providing information that may pertain to a legal matter does not create an attorney-client relationship nor does it obligate Alliance Defending Freedom to establish or undertake consideration of an attorney-client relationship. You understand and agree that you have not entered into an attorney-client relationship with Alliance Defending Freedom by submitting a request for legal assistance, that Alliance Defending Freedom does not represent you, and that no representations have been made indicating that Alliance Defending Freedom will undertake the legal representation of any party in the matter described. You understand that information provided may be shared with third parties to determine whether Alliance Defending Freedom or an Allied Attorney may represent a party in the matter without coming into conflict with the interests of their existing clients and that submitting unsolicited information does not necessarily impose a duty of confidentiality. If Alliance Defending Freedom, in its sole discretion, agrees to undertake legal representation on any particular matter, that agreement must be set forth in a separate written document.

Injuries and Damages

We will not be responsible or liable for any incidental, consequential, direct, indirect, or punitive damages or injuries, including, but not limited to those caused by omissions, errors, mistakes, delays in transmission, typographical errors, deletion of files, and delays in operation. Absent intentional misconduct by an employee of Alliance Defending Freedom, we will not be responsible for any claims or liability whatsoever, including above referenced damages, arising from your reliance on or use of any service, information, or merchandise provided on or through the website, or any failure of performance arising out of or caused by access to or use of any information or content contained in or on the website, the content of any website, or websites hyperlinked to the website, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.
